Be Kind, Rewind: The Good Will Out Drop VHS-Inspired Saucony Colab

Forget about your Blu-rays, DVDs and other newfangled whatnot – The Good Will Out's latest colab pays tribute to the OG king of home video, the humble VHS.

The sleek VHS-inspired rendition of Saucony's Shadow 5000 is constructed from satin suede, smooth leather and breezy mesh, with the simplicity of the black upper offset by keen attention to detail. The shoe is peppered with references to the beloved obsolete tech; the ultra-nostalgic TV test pattern sits on the tongue and heel – the latter also sports a 'VHSaucony' logo – while control symbols feature on the toe, and the warmly familiar white noise pattern is splashed across the clear outsole. The shoes come boxed in VCR-styled packaging, with two sets of laces.

The Good Will Out x Saucony Shadow 5000 'VHS' will release on August 5, exclusively through The Good Will Out. Oh and there's an added bonus for those first to arrive at the Cologne-based retailer on release day: you'll receive 'an original VHS tape featuring a real movie gem from the 80s.'
